"Agreed on the planning - new use class could be beneficial - this in line with the BPF's campaign. Institutions require an incentive though and consider themselves disadvantaged compared with private investors at present because when they buy…"

"I am not sure that there needs to be a change in stamp duty for multi-family residential to take off. The properties are priced like commercial so the stamp duty impact is no better or worse than any other commercial transaction. What can be done…"

Martin Skinner commented on Martin Skinner's group UK Residential
"The British Property Federation (BPF) has long been calling for stamp duty concessions (so an institutional investor buying 1,000 flats to rent will pay the same %age stamp duty as a private investor buying 1 flat) and a separate use class to…"

"Does anyone expect to see multi-family residential (apartment buildings with one owner) developing as a distinct sub-sector? In the US the multi-family residential asset class is rather distinct. It is valued using commercial terms (income approach)…"

Best described as an entrepreneur and property investor, Martin is creative, charismatic and keen to make a difference. He’s experienced many of the highs and lows of business and property investment over the years and remains a passionate advocate of small businesses and private investment.

Martin has built numerous businesses from scratch and helped to establish and grow many more for friends and family. After graduating with a BSc in Business Computing, Martin quickly setup, grew and sold his first technology business. He then developed a substantial high-yield portfolio of houses which he let to young professionals around Canary Wharf. A fast growing property management business and two substantial joint ventures followed, quickly establishing portfolios of more than £150m (yielding more than 10% gross).

He is now combining his experience with funds, technology and value investment to deploy an exciting new marketing strategy for Inspired (www.inspiredassets.co.uk).

Friends and family are very important to Martin and mixing disparate groups at social gatherings often provides him with entertaining challenges. Martin is engaged to Magdalena who is equally entrepreneurial. Together they are making a great team growing her own portfolio and her London-based lettings business (www.stepnowski.co.uk). They are due to have their first baby in London in April 2010.

Martin has also a social media evangelist.
